Combined with these assets, his peerless ethical standards and deep compassion make Dr. Laverson a professional you can trust with your most valuable possessions, your face and body. Because Dr. Laverson is an excellent surgeon, your operation here will be slow. Anesthesia is safe, so Dr. Laverson works harder and likely a bit longer for your best result. Operations he performs may last longer than similar operations performed by other surgeons. Designing the operation to meet your special needs rather than producing the same cookie-cutter result for everyone takes time. A superior level of care takes time. Detail takes time. Multiple layer suturing for stability and durability takes time. Visualizing nerves and other critical anatomy for precise surgery takes time. Checking and adjusting the impact of each intervention (iteration) and relationships between parts takes time. Artistically creating subtle, naturally beautiful contours from existing anatomy takes time. Re-positioning you to examine results while you’re upright takes time. Closure under magnification to conceal scars takes time. Quality and perfect execution take time. For Dr. Laverson, every procedure involves preparation, technical wizardry, and intense, continuous focused concentration till end.
